Help Carly Taylor during her recovery from stroke
This is my daughter Carly who just turned 25. Three weeks ago she presented with symptoms of a heart attack which landed her to the ER. When she arrived something started happening to her eye and her smile. After multiple tests the released her with a diagnosis of Bells Palsy. The next day she saw a neurologist who wanted to run more tests but needed to wait for insurance to approve. She went home again only to find herself in severe back pain that radiated down her left arm. She called the neurologist again and he sent her back to the ER. On her way there her face dropped and her right side went numb. With more tests and no answers they admitted her into hospital. The next day she lost the use of her right side. For a couple days of more tests their only answer was she had symptoms of a stroke without actually having a typical stroke which was said to have been brought on by stress.
Before she left her eye returned to normal, her smile slightly crooked and no use of her right arm and leg. They wanted her to go into rehab but with Covid and isolation rules she didn’t feel this was her best option because her depression was already at an all time high. She is now home with with a visiting nurse and 3 different types of rehab, and psychology nurse. Prior to this she was working at an elder care facility caring for people who had to be isolated to stay safe and healthy for the past 9 months and prior worked as a teller at local bank. She is still under my HSA insurance and has some thru her work but she was denied FMLA and the Jerry’s Foot steps grant which denied her paid plan to pay bills and extra medical expenses. Obviously she can’t return to work anytime soon and without FMLA, chances of her job waiting for her are slim along with her medical insurance thru them. She lives on her own with her 2 dogs and 2 cats that she rescued and took in as their forever home and considers them family as most of us do, and is still on lease there. We are filing for temporary disability but we all know how long that takes and even if she’s approved, how little they give you. We are helping her physically and with expenses but they are growing daily. Friends have brought food and gift cards to help and we are beyond grateful for their love prayers and help! At this time with the growing expenses we asking for help so that she can remain in her own home. The ability to hang on to any prior normal will aid the healing process and direct the therapies toward total independence. At this time due to growing expenses we are asking for help with bills, food and any more medical expenses that may come up.
